Game 23: Beating a mediocre team in Nashville

The Rangers are in Nashville tonight to take on a mediocre Predators team with a -13 goal differential. You can argue that the Rangers have a -8 goal differential, making them just as mediocre, but we know there are a few games skewing that. The key to beating Nashville is staying out of the box, since they convert at over 20% with the man advantage. Shea Weber at the point does that to a powerplay. Regardless, this is a mediocre team that the Rangers need to beat and continue to roll.

Nashville is a very unpredictable team, the Rangers need a better start then they did in Dallas or they may find the Preds a hard team to come back against. I like AV’s line combos but still think Pouliot is a boat anchor. Hopefully, he will prove me wrong and score a goal tonight.
